		<description><![CDATA[As soon as I opened my door, someone said, “There’s a lot of smoke down on the first floor coming out of the laundry room!” But I needed to see what was happening, so I turned back towards the laundry room to take a quick look, since the hall was still mostly clear of smoke. I walked by the laundry room and saw smoke rolling out of the bottom of a snack / beverage refrigeration unit. I went right outside and waited with everyone else; the fire trucks were already pulling in.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Section 12 of the Canadian Electrical Code covering Wiring Methods has seen nineteen rule changes and seven new rules for the 2012 CE Code. The first revision is to change the size of the sand cover used for direct buried conductors or cables from 6 mm to screened sand with a maximum particle size of 4.75 mm in Subrule 12-012(4). The reason for the change was to recognise standard sieve sizes detailed in ASTM Standard D 2487.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[With the pressure of a depressed economy, knowledgeable contractors are seeing more and more work going to electricians who are working outside their areas of expertise. If you have found a good answer to this problem, we need to hear it. Two readers of my Residential Wiring column at Electrical Contractor contacted me within the last year, worried about incompetent, bottom-bidder work. Both talked about the special knowledge needed to deal with smaller and older wiring systems (and both granted permission to share their thoughts). ]]></description>

This equals more than 22 percent of all U.S. households. By 2015, it is projected that approximately 65 million smart meters will be installed, representing 54 percent of all homes in the country.]]></description>

Many of whom came before me with great vision and enthusiasm which I can only hope to emulate. Even after saying that, we all must recognize that we are but one member of this great organization (IAEI) so we must focus on what is best for the organization as a whole.]]></description>
